    So they just printed a 3D liver that can survive for 40 days.

    IT is only really good for drug testing so far. As they are not able to get a blood supply to it for vascularization. My spelling may be off.
    Anyway, 3d printing for the win.

            A "liver"??

            ?Nobody who has any credibility claims they can print organs, or believes in their heart of hearts that that will happen in the next 20 years,? said Brian Derby, a researcher at the University of Manchester in Britain who reviewed the field last year in an article in the journal Science.

            For now, researchers have set their sights lower. Organovo, for instance, a San Diego company that has developed a bioprinter, is making strips of liver tissue, about 20 cells thick, that it says could be used to test drugs under development."
            .
            Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

              [W]hen you can print off your own liver and onion for frying up at home is another matter.

              That is the short term possibilities in this.

              Producing palatable synthetic foods and eliminating world hunger.

              Of course, the GMO and god-head folks will have a screaming tantrum over this ...

                Yes, they plan to deliver slices of liver, because it can be kept alive longer. This particular print out though was not a slice, but a real sized organ, at least the wording of the article points that way. I never claimed it to be functional, or usable yet.
                Just very cool.

                20 years for a usable printed organ, seems ok for me also. However, i guess they get it done a lot faster.

                                I watched an interview with a chef/synthetics food expert. He was explaining how wasteful our production of food is, especially with the amount of waste of oil & water to get the food from point A to B.

                                Absolutely fascinating when he explained how waste is eliminated almost completely when food is produced synthetically on site with powdered ingredients.

                                Blows my mind how things that where science fiction 20 years ago are quickly becoming a reality

                                          Is this another guy, or is that the same jerkoff that made the plastic guns? I was flipping through channels and watched Glenn Beck for a while -- to see what the retards are watching. That guy was on his show and sounded basically like an anarchist who has no ability to weigh the consequences of the movement he's spearheading. When the concept of 3D printing was first being thrown around, there had to be some redneck who said "I can't wait to print my own M60". So it was only a matter of time before it was done (and actually practical), but why rush us into it?
